As upsetting and depressing as current events and the so-called media "coverage" of them may be, there are occasional rays of light that break through the bleakness. One of them is the announcement that the time-honored and beloved "Charlie Brown" Thanksgiving and Christmas specials will air on television this year, after all. Both shows had been relegated to Apple TV+; but public pressure forced a change of plans, and now PBS stations will be broadcasting both shows.
We may have missed out on the Great Pumpkin this year, but due to the onslaught of online petitions, we'll have the "Peanuts" Thanksgiving and Christmas classics to enjoy. It's gratifying to know the voice of the people can still carry some clout. These days, we've got to find our good news where we can, Charlie Brown.
